This book encourages health professionals to reconceptualise their
practice in the light of the fact that their patients are
deteriorating and dying, supporting them in their dichotomous role
which involves affirming that person's life whilst acknowledging
that that life is ending. Professionals are encouraged to think
laterally, to be creative in their use of their core skills, and to
use their life skills and experience to change the focus of their
interventions. By making these changes, those involved with caring
for the dying will be able to address issues related to burnout and
feeling de-skilled. The authors share their considerable experience
with the reader - what works for both patient and
carer/professional when working in this field. By providing
workable solutions, they empower those in disempowering situations,
such as when working with terminally ill children and adults. The
book is truly holistic and client-centred in its approach,
upholding the philosophy of palliative care. Aimed at all who
interact with children and adults who have a life-limiting
condition or who are dying Offers practical examples of approaches
to dilemmas and emotional issues commonly face by those working in
palliative care Encourages professionals to think laterally, to be
creative in their use of core skills, and to use their life skills
and experience to change the focus of their interventions Moves the
emphasis away from the medical model to the emotional and spiritual
influences on quality of life Offers clear, workable guidelines and
demonstrates practical solutions, based on proven theory and
experience, to problems encountered on a day-to-day basis by
patients and those coming into contact with them
